Method
- Firstly make sure you have a sharp enough knife to cut through the aubergine, courgette and peppers.
- Slice the vegetables into thin pieces. This is so when they are on the grill they take less time, and they will be crispier!
- Plate up your asparagus and cherry tomatoes ready to go on the grill with the others.
- When on the grill, pick your homegrown mint and finely chop it so that it can be sprinkled over the top.
- Carefully, take off the vegetables from the grill and place them on a fresh chopping board.
- Season with some salt and pepper- if you have it, try to use flaky sea salt.
- Lightly drizzle some olive oil.
- Sprinkle your mint on top.
- Squeeze the lime to drizzle some lime juice over the top.
- Dish out as you choose and enjoy!
